Ft Lauderdale in disarray

I just flew in to Ft Lauderdale and the Hurricane Wilma aftermath is still quite impresive. Power is still out, making driving an expedition. I am attending training at the STAR center and things here are still hit an miss, with the power situation although they have theyre own generators.

And all this, is a week after Wilma hit. Pretty impressive. You could see as we were landing that the area was pretty badly affected. Roofs were torn off, many trees just uprooted, many others barely standing, many buildings damaged, and that just at the airport!

Hopefully Hurricane Beta will keep its distance. Cheers to all.
